According to TPD, officers responded to reports of a serious injury collision involving two motorcycles in the area of North Arcadia Avenue and East 4th Street. One rider fled the scene on foot and the other rider was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. He later died on December 9 due to the injuries sustained in the collision.
